The Gospel According to St John

Chapter 13

Jesus washes the feet of the Twelve—He identifies Judas as His betrayer—He commands them to love one another.

1 Now before the feast of the apassover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he bloved them unto the end.

2 And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the aheart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him;

3 Jesus aknowing that the Father had given all bthings into his hands, and that he was ccome from God, and went to God;

4 He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself.

5 After that he poureth water into a basin, and began to awash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.
